2.6 Vision_apps SRV Application Redesign

The application itself is redesigned for a faster execution as mentioned below:

  • Move out the camera initialization code to MCU2_0 firmware.
  • The above design change makes sure that the camera initialization happens right after the MCU2_0 starts running and not when the SRV application starts.

This makes sure that the 600 milli seconds spent on camera initialization happens in parallel when A72 is booting Linux and loading file system.

Eventually leading to Surround view demo in approximately 3 seconds from power-on.
